Blue Haven Campground and Resort

16 RV Sites

Blue Haven Campground and Resort in Ellenburg Depot, NY, offers 16 RV sites with 20 and 30-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come in two nightly-stay categories: 30/20-amp full-hookup back-ins carrying water, sewer, and electric, and 30/20-amp water-and-electric back-ins. Each has a fire pit. Note the electrical: this is a 20 and 30-amp property, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a dump station, and WiFi cover the essentials. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. Guests may bring their own boat or kayak and their own golf cart. An outdoor pool, a clubhouse, a recreation center, mini-golf, a pavilion, a ball field, sport courts, volleyball, basketball, shuffleboard, and horseshoes fill the grounds, with a boat launch to Lake Champlain for boating, paddling, and fishing, plus walking trails through the forest. Ellenburg Depot sits at the northern edge of the Adirondacks — six million protected acres, 2,000 miles of trail, and 3,000 lakes and ponds — with a state park nearby. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Summer weeks book earliest.

Ausable Pines

Ausable Pines in Peru, New York, offers 76 full-hookup RV sites and 14 tent sites on the Adirondack Park's northeastern edge, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. A single standard full-hookup category means every guest gets the same spec, with an outdoor pool, disc golf course, walking trails, and dog park. Seventy-six back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 45 feet. Two things to check before booking: service is 30-amp throughout, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management, and RVs are required to be in good condition — generally within a 10-year model range, with older rigs cleared in advance. Fourteen tent sites round out the lodging. Firewood and a dog park handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a disc golf course, walking trails, and river frontage filling the grounds. Fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, biking, and picnicking round it out, with a lake nearby. Pets are welcome. Peru sits in Clinton County where the Ausable River's meandering lower valley meets the Lake Champlain shoreline and the eastern Adirondack foothills. This is the Champlain Valley's western shore — apple country and resort towns rather than High Peaks wilderness, though Whiteface, Lake Placid, and Ausable Chasm are all within a short drive, and Burlington sits across the lake by ferry. Summer is the season in the Adirondacks, with foliage drawing a strong September and early October. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and clear RV approval early if your coach is older.

Ausable Chasm Campground

83 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 35 Tent Sites

Ausable Chasm Campground in Keeseville, New York, offers 83 RV sites, two cabins, and 35 tent sites directly across from the Ausable Chasm entrance, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet behind a gated entrance. Full-hookup categories at both amperages join a water-and-electric tier, with an outdoor pool, disc golf course, and recreation center. Eighty-three sites span 30-amp full hookup, 50-amp full hookup, and water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier before booking, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Two cabins and 35 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a disc golf course, recreation center, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, biking, mountain biking, a playground, and dog park filling the rest. Boating, swimming, picnicking, and productive birding round it out. The chasm is the reason to stay here and it justifies the trip. The AuSable River has carved 500-million-year-old Potsdam sandstone into one of the most dramatic geological features in the Northeast, and the entrance is directly across the road. Lake Champlain, Plattsburgh, and the Adirondack High Peaks are all close. Summer is the season on the Adirondack Park's northeastern edge, with foliage drawing a strong September. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Kings Bay Campground

137 RV Sites

Kings Bay Campground in Champlain, New York, offers 151 deluxe full-hookup RV sites on Lake Champlain with roughly 1,800 feet of waterfront and one of the few sand beaches on the New York shore. Sites carry 20, 30, and 50-amp with water and sewer, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables, and the campground is open all year. One hundred fifty-one deluxe full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. Cabins round out the accommodations. Laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. One policy to check before booking: RVs are generally required to be within a 10-year model range, and older units need approval in advance. The lake carries the recreation. A sand beach gives direct swimming access, with boating, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, paddle boats, and fishing from the property. An outdoor pool, clubhouse, recreation center, arcade, billiards, a dog park, hiking, and biking fill the grounds, with picnicking areas and birding along the shoreline. Pets are welcome. Champlain sits at the northern end of the Lake Champlain valley just south of the Canadian border, at the tri-border crossroads of New York, Vermont, and Quebec. Quebec's communities lie north, Vermont's Green Mountains across the lake to the east, and the Adirondacks rise to the west — an unusual range of day trips from one address. Summer lake season drives demand across the Champlain Valley. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and confirm RV age approval if your unit is older than ten years.

Eighteen cabins, 20 tent sites, and a glamping site round out the lodging. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, recycling, and on-site dining handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing on the water. Sports courts, tennis, pickleball, basketball, walking trails, and a playground fill the grounds, with strong birding and stargazing besides.

15 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

10 Acres Campground in Addison, VT, offers 15 full-hookup RV sites and 5 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet.

Nine back-in sites carry water and electric on 30-amp, sized to 50 feet, with picnic tables. Two things to plan around: the sites carry water and electric rather than sewer, and service is 30-amp, so bring an adapter if your rig runs heavier. One consistent category means no guesswork. Eight cabins and cottages and 17 tent sites make this substantially a cabin and tent property. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, propane exchange, and firewood handle the practical side. A water park and beach anchor the summer, with boat rentals opening the lake for boating, paddle boats, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. A jumping pillow, recreation center, sports courts, volleyball, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, biking, mountain biking, and a playground fill the rest, with live music, picnicking, and genuinely dark skies for stargazing.

1 RV Site, 6 Tent Sites

Tiny Village Bon Echo in Ompah, Ontario, offers a water-and-electric pull-through RV site and six tent sites in Canadian Shield country, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 30 feet.

The RV site is pull-through with water and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 30 feet. Two things to plan around: the site carries water and electric rather than sewer, and the 30-foot cap rules out most modern coaches. Six tent sites and classic rental cabins round out the lodging. A general store, propane fills, restrooms, showers, portable toilets, firewood, and on-site dining handle the practical side. Three policies worth knowing: check-in runs 3pm to 9pm only, checkout is 11am, and while there is no boat docking, launching is free.

A recreation center, playground, walking trails, hiking, corn hole, and a river fill the rest, with offroading nearby and genuinely dark skies for stargazing.

Summer is the short Ontario season. Reserve well ahead, and plan arrival within the check-in window.
